An agricultural tire includes a toroidal tire structure containing vulcanized rubber in an amount of about 90 percent or more by weight. The tire structure may have one or more performance enhancing features, including high strength plies. The high strength plies contain cords that are formed of yarns, including polyamide yarns, and have individual cord tensile strengths within a range of about 400 N to about 700 N. The performance enhancing features further include circumferential belt plies having cords at angles of about 74 degrees or more from an axial direction.

Disclosed herein are vehicle tires including a carcass with at least one body ply, a tread disposed radially outward of the carcass, and a belt component comprising a steel cord-containing ply positioned radially between the tread and the carcass. The steel cord-containing ply comprises rubber reinforced with steel warp cords having a specified diameter and EASL. Also disclosed is a vehicle tire containing two belt components comprising a steel cord-containing ply, each belt component positioned radially between the tread and the carcass.

Disclosed herein are vehicle tires including a tread, a carcass with at least one body ply, and a single steel cord-containing belt ply positioned radially inward of the tread and radially outward of the carcass. The single steel cord-containing belt ply comprises rubber reinforced with steel warp cords bi-axially woven with steel weft cords and have a specified bi-axial angle. Also disclosed is a vehicle tire containing the single steel cord-containing belt ply wherein the belt ply includes pick cords connecting the steel warp cords and steel weft cords.

A cord of a band of a tire has a single-stranded structure in which steel filaments are stranded, and the number of the filaments is not less than three and not greater than six. In a cross-section of the cord, when represents a diameter of a smallest circle that surrounds cross-sections of the filaments, and represents a diameter of each filament, a gap is formed between the filaments such that the diameter is not less than three times the diameter and not greater than six times the diameter in the case of the number of the filaments being three or four. An initial elongation of the cord is not less than 0.1% and not greater than 1.5%.

The present disclosure relates to a tire cord. The tire cord includes a polyester drawn yarn containing recycled polyethylene terephthalate. The tire cord may exhibit excellent physical properties industrially required while including eco-friendly materials.

A pneumatic tire is provided with a carcass layer, a belt layer disposed on the outer side of the carcass layer in a radial direction of the tire, and tread rubber disposed on the outer side of the belt layer in the radial direction of the tire. The belt layer is formed by layering a pair of cross belts having belt angles with absolute values from 10 to 45 inclusive and opposite signs, and a circumferential reinforcing layer having a belt angle within a range of 5 with respect to the circumferential direction of the tire. A distance (Gcc) from a tread profile to an inner circumferential surface of the tire along a tire equatorial plane and a distance (Gsh) from a tread end (p) to the inner circumferential surface of the tire have a relationship such that 1.10Gsh/Gcc.

[Object] A pneumatic tire that allows reduction of the occurrence of a TGC and, at the same time, allows reduction of rolling resistance, is provided. [Solution] The tire 12 includes a band 26 disposed radially inward of a tread 14, and a belt 24 disposed radially inward of the band 26. The band 26 includes a cord that is helically wound and extends substantially in a circumferential direction. The belt 24 includes an inner layer 24a, and an outer layer 24b that is layered over the inner layer 24a and disposed radially outward of the inner layer 24a. The inner layer 24a and the outer layer 24b each include multiple cords aligned with each other. The cords in the inner layer 24a and the cords in the outer layer 24b are inclined relative to an equator plane. A direction in which the cords in the inner layer 24a are inclined relative to the equator plane is opposite to a direction in which the cords in the outer layer 24b are inclined relative to the equator plane. Absolute values of inclination angles of the cords in the inner layer 24a and the cords in the outer layer 24b relative to the equator plane are greater than or equal to 35, and not greater than 55.

A pneumatic tire is disclosed that can improve high-speed durability and shock resistance without increasing the mass of a belt reinforcing layer. The pneumatic tire includes a carcass, a belt on the outer periphery of a crown part of the carcass and a belt reinforcing layer on the outer periphery of the belt, wherein the belt reinforcing layer is provided with a belt reinforcing ply including an organic fiber cord having a double twisting structure obtained by intertwisting two first twisted yarns including a filament bundle of aliphatic polyamide fibers, having nominal fineness of 4000 dtex or less and having tensile toughness (J) per one cord of 5 J or more, and a major diameter direction of the belt reinforcing ply is parallel to a belt outer periphery, and the product of the toughness (J) per one organic fiber cord and cord count (number/25 mm) is 130 to 180.

Technique to increase the endurance of tires comprising two working layers (41, 42), comprising mutually parallel reinforcing elements (411, 421) each forming, with the circumferential direction (XX) of the tire, an oriented angle (AA, AB), such that these respective angles are of opposite sign, the reinforcing elements being comprised of individual metal threads, by combining a manufacturer-recommended direction of rotation (SR) and an optimized design of tread pattern. The tire also comprises axially exterior major grooves (24) in the tread (2) having a mean linear profile L of a width W at least equal to 1 mm and of a depth D at least equal to 5 mm. Different conditions governing the angular orientations of the mean linear profiles L of the axially exterior major grooves (24) apply to the left-hand axially exterior portion (22) and to the right-hand axially exterior portion (23) of the tread (2).

Provided is a tire that is lightweight and excellent in riding characteristics while suppressing an increase in cost.

A plurality of belt layers 7 are superimposed in a radial direction. The belt layers 7 include a plurality of steel cords 10 arranged in parallel in a row and rubber 11. The steel cords 10 have a 14 structure in which four filaments 20 are twisted, and when a center-to-center distance between the steel cords 10 in at least two of the belt layers 7 adjacent in the radial direction is T, and an average diameter of virtual circumscribed circles of the steel cords 10 having the 14 structure is D, 1.25T/D2.25.
